Note: If you have previously blocked a profile, but did not ban them from your business page, you will need to: unblock the profile ,wait 48 hours, then ban from your business page and re-block them on your personal profile.
Note: Prior to Banning and Blocking, please report the person to Facebook. Become a part of the “Ban & Block” Flock channel and post offending Facebook profile user links in that chat for other members of our community to have the opportunity to avoid these people. Please ensure you note why you brought forward these people to the Ban & Block Flock chat. Check the user’s profile to see if there are any mutual friends, so that you may alert those friends to do the same.

How to Verify Your Business Manager if Facebook Requests it
How To Report a Cloned Profile
NOTE: Please proceed at your own risk. Starting the verification process might CAUSE your Business Manager to be shut down! In one case, the account was fine initially. They started the business verification process, and Facebook disabled their Business Manager. The verification came back approved 2 days later. Next, they appealed the shut down of the Business Manager, and in the comments mentioned that the business had been verified. Several days later, it was up and running again.
1. Why Verify your Business Manager?
• Your Business Manager was shut down and Facebook asked you to verify your business. (Proceed with the below instructions in this case.)
OR
• You’re choosing to verify it in advance. PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK. This may cause Facebook to shut you down.
2. Go to your Business Manager to remind yourself what you named it. Make note of that name.
• click ‘Register Now’• enter your Social Insurance Number, last name, date of birth, and postal code. Click Next. Click I Agree.
• Enter your Phone information. Click Next.
• Check ‘I need a business number’
• Business – Sole Proprietorship (If this doesn’t work, go through the steps again, but this time choose ‘Other’)
• The steps may vary from here, but basically, enter all the required information. When asked for your business name, enter the same name as what your Business Manager is named.
• When this section has been completed successfully, you will receive a CRA page saying, ‘Your New Business Number is xxxxxxxxxxx ’. Print this page or save it as a PDF. I named mine ‘Tina M Hansen – Certificate of Formation
For USA:
1. Decide if you want to register your sole proprietor yourself or pay for a business to register for you. The following advice is for people who want to register their business on their own. NOTE: always look at the web address URL. If it is a .com address then you are using a business. The questions will seem like a government form but at the end the business will ask you for a fee, in addition to the government fees.
2a. Method 1- Find your state business registration by starting from the IRS site.

Step 6. Enter Verification Code

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. My ‘Start Verification’ button is not clickable.
Try going to: Business Manager/Ad Account Settings/Ad Accounts
• Fill in the missing info (business Name (same name as my business manager), business address (to match CRA)
• Repeat the same steps for each ad account
• Go back to Business Manager/Business Settings/Security Center, and see if the button is now clickable.
***If it’s still not clickable, try checking again after 24 hours.
2. Facebook Declined my Business Verification CRA Document.
• I simply renamed the original document, resubmitted it, and it worked!
3. Facebook STILL declined my CRA document.
• You can get a business license from a Registry office. In Alberta, this costs $30.00. Once you have the actual business license, upload this document for verification instead.
